"Tommy 's is a cultural institution in Cleveland Hts., it 's been around for a while. Generations of families come back again and again, with new parents relishing in the memories of coming in with their parents decades before. They were ahead of the curb on the vegetarian and vegan scene, offering tofu dogs and boca burgers long before vegan options became the norm. These are reasons to appreciate Tommy 's and be sure to check it out if you 're in the area. Now, for the food. For what you get, essentially oldschool diner food, Tommy 's is pricey. The prices are comparable to those served at shops with freshly baked bread and house made seitan or veggie burgers. In my opinion, the prices went up with the times but the quality of offerings have pretty much remained the same. With the exception of the Tofutti and Rice Dream shakes, the oldschool vegan meals simply aren 't very good when compared to the handmade stuff restaurants are pumping out today. A tofu pup and boca burger are memorable in so far as they signify how bad things used to be for vegans. Many diners require more effort in their vegan options these days and, to be honest, that requirement was long overdue. To summarize, Tommy 's is worth a visit for it 's history alone, it 's essentially a symbol of Cleveland Hts. with it 's oldschool liberal and family oriented vibes. Of course, also mirroring the city, it 's menu has struggled to keep up with the times."

"I will begin by saying the atmosphere is very beautiful and classic high end steakhouse. You walk in the doors to view of the expansive alcohol display. The light are low and the soulful r&b welcome you in as the friendly host walked us to our table. Weordered 2 cocktails; a Smokey mezcal for me and Four Roses Old Fashion for the wife. Both of which were delicious and met ourexpectations. Unfortunately that is where the positive ends. Our server took our drink order and we stopped him so I couldorder an appetizer and my wife a house salad. Another table was offered bread and butter but we must not look like bread lovers.Grateful they’re helping us watch the waistline. Our waiter needed to be stopped so I could order the tuna (deliciousappetizer) but walked away before my wife could order her salad. After sometime we finally flagged down our waiter so she couldorder a house salad, to which he replied ok and started to walk away. She stopped him before he walked all the way to tell himwhat dressing should would like. Not sure what would have come out but at least she got that out. But I understand as he wasreally busy hanging out at the bar and managing his 1 table; us. 35 minutes after arriving and many stare downs later hemeanders on over to see if we’d like dinner. Ummm why were we at a booth table at a steakhouse? Maybe for the atmosphere butno we let him know we were here for food. My wife ordered the boneless rib-eye with Brussels sprouts (whoops they’re out helets us know after a few minutes so Mac n cheese it is). I ordered the Ny strip with asparagus. When the food arrived, veryquickly by all standards, we put the service aside and looked forward to some delicious $50 steaks. Well I guess 50% isn’tbad. My steak, ordered med well was served med rare and looked like a backyard bbq not even using Costco steak. But had somepeppery flavor to it and decide not a $50 steak but you know this atmosphere must be work $30 so there’s that. My wife wh"

"Located in the heart of Sacramento downtown, Grange is in the Citizen Hotel, a very nice historic hotel in the city. The overall layout of the restaurant is geared towards socializing, with a large open space, long banquettes, a long bar and some high tops. The décor is old world chic, and there is also a private dining room at the back, and some upstairs areas overlooking the main floor. Very cool digs for sure. We dropped in for lunch on a Saturday. The bar was full, but the dining area was near empty. Our server was friendly, but a little distracted, probably due to the lack of customers at that time. Aside from that, the fact that due to the layout, you can see and hear the servers chatting behind what is supposed to be a barrier wall that is actually completely open (more like a designer screen than a wall). We looked at the menu, and determined we were truly not that hungry yet. So, instead of just walking out, we asked to split one of their eggs benedict. The chef did a really nice job on the benedict. It they came out on a 'designed ' plate, each with a side salad to fill the remaining space. The salad was a nice touch. The benedicts were perfectly prepared, and had a southwest flavor. Chorizo instead of Canadian bacon, topped with a chipotle hollandaise and jalapenos. A tasty and welcome surprise. Grange is a bit pricey, but if you are up to a social night out this would be a good choice in my opinion."
